From her days with the Supremes through her memorable work in “Lady Sings the Blues,” Diana Ross has claimed a large spot in the soundtrack of pop music.

She has found her way onto Hollywood's Walk of Fame as an individual and as a member of the Supremes, as well as gaining membership in Black Entertainment Television's Walk of Fame and the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.

Her Aug. 20 show at Heinz Hall, Downtown, is the current manifestation of a 50-year career in acting and singing.

“I do what I do because I love it,” she says in a digital package of sound clips she uses to supplant interviews in tour cities. “I do not understand searching for fame. You do what you do because you love it.”

And you might say you “love” her music, but how deep is your love?

You are solely responsible for your comments and by using TribLive.com you agree to our
Terms of Service.

We moderate comments. Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information.

While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers.

We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments either by the same reader or different readers

We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites.

We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation.

We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly.

We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent
via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article.
